Greetings, Sisters!
We are excited to introduce our new ongoing witchy book club, Whimsical Witches of the Divine Scrolls (WWODS)—a magical reading journey brought to you by the Sacramento Sisterhood of Witches. If you’re a lover of all things witchy, and enjoy delving into both fiction and nonfiction reads, this is the perfect place for you!
What to Expect at WWODS Gatherings:
✔ Every 6 weeks, we’ll choose and alternate between fiction and nonfiction witchy books that explores different aspects of Paganism, witchcraft, mythology, folklore, or spiritual growth.
✔Come prepared for lively discussions, thought-provoking insights, shared experiences, feasting and crafting or games (our crafts are thematic to the current book read, and periodically we'll play a witchy game).
✔Each meeting, we’ll raffle off the upcoming book on our reading list!
✔Everyone is welcome! Simply grab a copy of the book (or audiobook) and come ready to share your thoughts, questions, and insights. Whether you're able to read every page or just dip in when you can, the most important thing is your presence and enthusiasm!
✔Connect with a community of like-minded Pagans and seekers.
✔Discover new books and expand your spiritual library.
✔Engage in meaningful conversations that nurture your personal growth and practice.
Let’s explore the sacred wisdom of the written word together and weave our own stories of magick, mystery, and transformation sisters!!!

Our Next meet is on July 5th, 2025
Join us for our 7th meeting of WWODS, where we will be talking about our latest book read (Wise Women: Myths and Stories for Midlife and Beyond by Sharon Blackie), swimming, eating pizza, and raffling off our next book! If you have not read the latest book, you can still jump right in, have some fun, and learn about the upcoming book.
📖ABOUT THE BOOK:
From early childhood, we learn about the world and its possibilities through myths and fairy tales. The heroines, though, tend to be young princesses or fair maidens, and the evildoers older women: wicked witches or unforgiving matriarchs. Yet a wealth of lesser-known European stories feature mature wise women with personality and power. Compiling many years of research, Sharon Blackie has reclaimed these tales, presenting them in evocative prose that will resonate with women of all ages.
This dazzling array of not-to-be-messed-with older characters provides compelling role models for today’s readers, who seek to redefine their relationship with aging. These women outwit monsters, test and mentor younger heroines, embody the cycles of the Earth, weave the world into being — and almost always have the last laugh. Each story is accompanied by background commentary that highlights important themes and reveals its insights into how we might live meaningfully and authentically in the second half of life.
